The Best Assisted Living Communities in Knox County, TN

"Wonderful facility, staff and location. My uncle has been here for over 6 months (in both wings)...and I know many friends who have sent loved ones to this location without any regret. It's so difficult to turn some responsibilities of your loved ones over to strangers, but the staff at StoryPoint has gone above and beyond to make the transition easier. They always have fun activities and good food! Definitely ask for Noah...he is part of the sales staff and very knowledgable."

"My dad has moved into South Knoxville Senior Living. It is assisted living, but they're not as assisted as I would have liked. It's a new place. It's small, but it's nice. Instead of being stacked on top of each other, it's 6 independent units with 13 residents in each unit. They're renovating several of them. There are six altogether, and I think they have four going on right now. Two of the buildings are empty, and they're working on them. The staff members are very nice. They're fine. We're having a little problem with the activities. They need more activities, but the Senior Center for Knoxville is right around the corner, and that has things all day, every day. Each unit has a library and a place to sit and read, and each building has its own kitchen facility. The 13 residents that are in the building can have their meals right there, but they're not all operating yet. Right now, they only have two of the kitchens going. My dad says the food is good, but I don't know personally. It looks fine, though. I walked in for dinner one night, and everybody was happy."

"Northshore Heights Located in Knoxville was my second choice for my dad. It was very nice and has a very open area, a big open meal room, which is where you first walk into. It's very clean and updated, and the staff were very nice. I only met one or two of them, and they were nice. They actually came and assessed my dad when he was in rehab, but I wasn't very impressed with them when they pretty much told me very bluntly that my dad didn't qualify for assisted living at that time, and they just didn't say anything else. I didn't appreciate that. I think the majority of their rooms were private. The one I looked at was private, but they did show one that was the most expensive room they had. It was kind of a combined room where a couple could live in, it was one room that was combined with another. They had a living area. Their room options were nice, but they didn't have any built-in shelves or anything fancy like that. They had a nice building and had nice amenities as well. Their whole building, facilities, and everything were updated."

"Trinity Hills of Knoxville was OK. Caroline, the girl who took us on the tour, was fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. She was great. The rooms were a little more basic and plain."

"We found one Autumn Care that is down the street from us that she is very happy with. It’s a very small facility; I think they have about 42 residents or so. It’s very clean new and very reasonable. We have been really pleased with it. They have a regular activity time. They have three meals a day, and they have nurses and physical therapy. "

"My wife is at The Pointe at Lifespring Senior Living for respite care. I chose it because it was just very clean and very neat. She has a pretty standard room. It is roomy and very clean, and the bathroom is very roomy and clean, as well. It is set up for older people. The staff is really good. They are very caring and very professional. I highly recommend this facility based on the staff. They have lots of activities. They've done some painting and they have devotions. They took them out to lunch one day this week. And I think this coming week, they're going to take them to the zoo here in Knoxville."

"Wellington Manor of Knoxville was clean. The only thing that I noticed is that they might have been short of help, but I think many places run into that. The living spaces were great, and the rooms were set up good. They can bring their own furniture. The kitchen looked clean. The staff members were very helpful and very courteous, but it appeared that they were very busy, and sometimes, residents had to wait."

"Before I moved to Tennessee my son and daughter-in-law visited several facilities on my behalf. We decided on The Groves in Oak Ridge and I moved into a studio apt a week ago. So far I am very happy here and feel like it's a good fit."

"It was a newer place and it showed. It had an open feeling when you first walk in, like a "let's get together" kind of atmosphere. The person who assisted me was very enthusiastic and really knew her stuff. She made me feel welcome. The food was very good and nicely served."

"I was very impressed with The Guest House at Alexander Inn. It’s very clean, but it’s a smaller facility. They did have a separate bedroom and a sitting area, but the rooms were small, and also there was no independent-living there, so if my mother was to get a lot better with her physical therapy, there wouldn’t be any area to move up to. The atmosphere was very nice. It was a historic place before, and they restored it so it’s very nice. "

"I visited Wellington Place of Maryville, and the rooms were not big enough for what I need, but the facility was fine. The staff was fine, and it was very convenient for me. "

"Meadow View was very nice and they had a lot of things listed on their activity calendar. The food smelled and looked delicious. The dining area was right inside the front door as you come in. The staff was very nice."

"The tour at Brookdale Sandy Springs was very good. We sat down with the director and spoke with her first, and she gave us a lot of good information, and then she showed us around the facility. We saw several residents, and there were a lot of activities, which we enjoyed. We met the staff of the dining facility, and we saw the rooms and talked about the various activities that would take place. The smaller rooms were kind of small. We saw a larger room, but the expense is kind of a jump to that. They are certainly adequate, though, and clean. My sister and mother went yesterday, and mother said the food was good and that she really enjoyed the dining room, that it was lively. She enjoyed the experience."
